Jeremy Hermida heating up again

Jeremy Hermida has five hits and has reached base six times in the first two games of this series, raising his average to .258 and his on-base percentage to .390.

Hermida’s average had slipped 78 points to .230 in the 19 games prior to the Dodgers series, during which he was 10-for-61 (.164).
“We’ve seen it before,” manager Fredi Gonzalez said about Hermida’s spurts. “We need Hermie to put together long periods, not just short samples.”

Hermida has also returned to right field with the call-up of Chris Coghlan. He started the season as the left fielder.
